So I’ve tried Mastodon, Pixelfed and didn’t like them. Mastodon is nice if you wanna ”tweet”, but that’s not for me. Pixelfed was dead.
I quit Meta because of tech bro fascism, and hated Twitter even before it was X because, let’s face it - nobody has ever changed their opinion on anything because of a Twitter conversation (I know I’m exaggerating, to get my point across). I was in Reddit for a few weeks, and the conversations there seem mostly friendly and constructive, but I decided I don’t want to have anything to do with social media corporations. Besides, I noticed I could scroll endlessly. And that’s not good for me.
Lemmy seems nice. There are still some topics I’m interested in that don’t have active communities, and I’m still learning on how to have my feed from multiple instances. But still, this is the way to go for me.
Against algorithms, against fascism, for free internet. Thanks for coming to my boring Ted talk and have a nice day.
20k MAU can feel pretty dead, even 100k can if none of them are sharing things you’re interested in.
79 millions pictures , i don’t undetstand how you can’t find any content that is interesting
One of the big issues that I personally had with Pixelfed is that content discovery is kind of difficult on the platform. Sure, there’s probably some pictures out there of the obscure shit I’m into. However, all I ever found on pixelfed was like landscape/nature photography and a little bit of porn
I see all type of contents drawing, vinyl, monuments etc
Yeah and none of those are my niche. Not to mention, content discovery is still difficult even if you personally see things you’re interested in lol
Maybe the problem is that your interests are so limited and not the lack of diversity of content. Or you just want to be fed content by algorithms and top content pages. I discover content that interest me daily. You reminds me of people saying it’s hard to didcover music on bandcamp although there is like 5 ways to find music on bandcamp
Wow. Not even an ad hominem, literally just blind judgement. You have no idea what interests me, and no way to tell how I have interacted with Pixelfed. You have no concept of the idea that some people are just not into the things you enjoy.
Do you have any idea just how much content is out there in the world? You could browse through a petabyte of data and it could all be boring drivel to you because there are zettabytes of data out there in the internet. Some of it is bound to bore any random individual. That doesn’t preclude me from enjoying the entire rest of the internet.
You remind me of people in red hats.
I have that concept. I always like when people have their own taste in anything and try to diversify their interests even in things I don’t like.
And you feel like you portrayed that ideology by belittling me for not being interested in Pixelfed?
what are you interested in finding that you aren’t? build it, put it up, ask questions. We’re all here on the frontier building what we want.
